Regarding a newspaper account of a shooting (Lynette is asking this). If the person died, you might try for a death certificate, which will tell you where he died. Then you can look for the correct newspaper. Visit the Website of the Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County and look at the list of newspapers as Jan suggested. Nancy Krohn

Karl, I do not know of any research past or present regarding cemetery procedures. Maybe Karen Walker could give us a little summary of what she learned when she and Marty Carr were co-chairman of our cemetery committee. Do you want to ask her? I do know that the State once had a Cemetery commission but I believe it was done away with. Do you want to write the state and start gathering information? That would be very helpful. I would be interested in hearing what you are learning. Sounds like you are home from a vacation. Hope it was wonderful. What were we talking about before you went? Nancy

Thanks for the info Jan...He would have been shot in Washtenaw Co. so I guess I will have to go from there, and try to get to the area soon to do some checking....Lynette

Lynette, Plenty of newspapers in Washtenaw County in 1888 but no single newspaper carried "all" the news. Your best bet is to look in the newspaper in the community closest to where the event occurred. If he was shot in Ypsilanti, that is where you would most likely find an article. There probably would not be coverage in say, Manchester in the SW part of the county. The Genealogical Society of Washtenaw County has excellent summary of county newspapers and location of extant copies at: http://www.hvcn.org/info/gswc/bibliography/bknews.htm Good luck, Jan Ann Arbor ----- Original Message ----- From: <Nettiebug1059@aol.com> To: <MIWASHTE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 11:51 AM Subject: [MIWASHTE] Newspapers in 1888? > Could anyone tell me of any newspapers that would have been running in the > Washtenaw County area in 1888...I am looking for an article on a Barney > Hitchnyher(sp?) being shot or injured and killed by a shotgun) this would > have been around April 28 or 29 of 1888 Hope someone can help me with > this info...Thanks so much Lynette nettiebug1059@aol.com >

Could anyone tell me of any newspapers that would have been running in the Washtenaw County area in 1888...I am looking for an article on a Barney Hitchnyher(sp?) being shot or injured and killed by a shotgun) this would have been around April 28 or 29 of 1888 Hope someone can help me with this info...Thanks so much Lynette nettiebug1059@aol.com

Am researching cemetery procedures. Has anyone run across a discussion or whatever concerning changes since 1867 of what death documents are required and how they are handled in Michigan? For instance, in 1952 the state law was changed directing death certificates and Burial-Transit Permits be delivered directly to the county rather than local (township) government. More recently Burial-Transit Permits are being retained by the cemetery. Thanks, Karl Williams - Superior Township

Gloria, By coincidence I have an obituary for Edward Dresselhouse. He was born Feb 19, 1877 in Sharon Township to John and Amelia (Davidter) Dresselhouse. Died Feb 8, 1968 in Hamburg, MI at Clague Nursing Home. Married Emma Grossman March 7, 1906. If you would like a copy of the obit, contact me off list and I'll scan and send to you.

Barb, I would first check the white page telephone list on AOL and see if one of those children appear. If they do write or call them. With the deaths so current, I would bet who ever you might call that lives in Chesea could help you. Chesea is a very small town and any one who has lived there many years knows most of the people in town. Good luck. john in KS

Hello, I am looking for any information about Fred HARRIS, b. 1881 in Nevada, d. 1956 in Chelsea, and his wife Elizabeth Ann PARSONS, b. 1889 (place unknown) and d. 1976 in Chelsea. Their children were Frances, Thomas, Robert and Fred. Thanks for any help. Barb in Hawaii

Mary, Nancy is too modest to mention it, but she has extracted a number of Washtenaw County naturalizations and published them in Capers. I don't know what years she has published or what years you are looking for but you can find old issues of Capers with indexes at the FHL/GSWC library on Hill Street in Ann Arbor. You should be able to locate the naturalizations in Capers through the PERSI index. All libraries in Michigan should have access to Ancestry.com's the on-line version.

Hi, Regarding the Washtenaw County Circuit Court Naturalization Records. They are all held by the State Archives and have been filmed by the LDS. Indexes have been created by volunteers and are available at the state archives. I do not know if they were completed before or after the filming. The State Archivist will respond to inquiries.

Hi! Sorry to take so long to acknowledge your response to me! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. It makes sense to me now, and I really appreciate it! I have another question for you, or another lister, if you don't mind. The LDS library also has naturalization records for Washtenaw Co. Have you or anyone else used them? I don't recall the years they cover - but it's quite a broad span. I looked at them, though, and they appear to be the actual records, but not an index. Does anyone know if the film includes an index somewhere on it? Or where I would get a peak at the index? Thanks much! Mary --- "Jan E.

> I show a John Dresselhaus who married Margaretha HUEHL > 12-30-1862 in Washtenaw Co.. Don't know if that could > be a match or not..... Mary, I don't think that's him. The John Dresselhouse(Dresselhaus) mentioned in the other post who would have been born 1851/1852 (married to the mystery Emma) with Edward as a son age 3 in 1880 seems to be the guy I was wondering about. However, the John you mention poses another mystery! I don't have any John (or Johann or "whoever-Johann") married to a Huehl. I do have a Johann Gerhard Dresselhouse(haus), born Aug 11, 1830, married to "??", but their children were born starting about 1856. However...... I have 3 kids for them & the youngest was born about 1860, so it's possible that the marriage to Margaretha Huehl could have been a second marriage for this John/Johann. I don't know much about the Huehl family yet, & don't have a Margaretha. Huehl is a line that cousin David Koss hasn't sorted out yet, & he's the Schale expert. By the way, the 3 kids of Johann Gerhard & "unknown" wife were in Jackson County. Gloria

Hi! I show a John Dresselhaus who married Margaretha HUEHL 12-30-1862 in Washtenaw Co.. Don't know if that could be a match or not.....

Parents, John Dresselhouse, 28 born MI. parents born Prussia and > Emma Dresselhouse, 25 born MI. parents born Prussia. Thanks! That must be my mystery man. I have a John Dresselhouse born "about 1851", son of Gerhard Lambert Henry Dresselhaus & Christina Jans (or Johns). I don't have a marriage for John. In fact, there are a lot of loose ends in this branch. Sure wish I knew Emma's maiden name! ;-) Gloria

The Sutro Library in San Francisco has microfilm of Johnston's Detroit City Directory, beginning in 1861. Oldherself@aol.com Joyce
